Every Dead Thing by John Connolly
1.0
I like some of John Connolly's work. I like it very much.
So I truly wanted this book to be good, if not Amazing.
Imho, It is not.
One quarter through the book and I can't be bothered to go back.
Countless firearms/ammo descriptions and characters picked straight from any bland, anonymous tv cop show, makes this book such a predictable (if not in plot, then in dialogue) experience.
I also had a hard time Reading this as a thriller as it blatantly reveals itself being a repetitive mobster parody, saturated with platitudes.
There can only be one Raymond Chandler...
